X-Box 360 and the lack of top tier games

Sports games are on all platforms, except the 2K games. Tekken and Virtua fighter are Sony exclusives, IIRC.

Virtual Fighter 5 has been officially confirmed for the Xbox 360, with enhancements such as online play.


Tekken 6 has been rumoured (by the same source as VF5, before it was confirmed) to also be coming to the 360 with online play: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3156143

Details of the Spring 2006 dashboard update:



Supposedly the spring dashboard update will also come with an HD DVD & DVD player update, which includes things like DTS support.

Virtua Fighter 2 is on the Wii.

If it's my scalp you're after I guess I'd better get some practice in.

I don't think it's too weird. They probably started manufacture quite some time ago, revised it before release.

Bit sloppy though to screw so many people over.

How're they screwed over if they can exchange it at the store they purchased free of charge?

I went to Best Buy and watched a PS3 NBA game and was floored by graphics

Then went around to the XBOX 360 and watch (I dont know the game name) a pickup basketball game in a Gymnasium, it looked awesome as well, reflections on floor boards and such.


I have PS2, I have read many threads and was wondering, I enjoy sports games (Football, basketball and possibly a Race Game) and want a fighting game such as Tekken or Virtual Fighter, which would you experts suggest I get should my Banker (My wife) authorize a purchase of?
Thanks

You've got good choices on both, so it comes down to the old question of which console. Personally having just been through that dilemma I went for the XBox 360, as you can see. It's got a lot of good games coming out over the next 6 months.

But if you want a (relatively) cheap Blu-ray player as well as a console, and are happy with the games coming out on the PS3 (less because it's newer) then get the PS3. They are already beginning to come down in price (desperation?).

I'll probably get one in a year or so.

So you are happy to buy defective gear as long as you can go back to the store and exchange it? That might mean several hours of free gaming time wasted (I don't live near any stores, I shop in London where I work). They are doing the right thing now of course, but the original mistake is still sloppy.

It doesn't make me happy, but to say they're "screwed over" is ridiculous.

[DrSpike]

Compared to the hyperbole you come up with when trolling things you don't like mine was pretty tame.

I got the 360 today along with a few games

My wife has been playing lego Star Warz for hours on our PS2 which makes her happy in turns makes me happy

I haven't played it yet but did find a cheap fighting game for about $ 30.00, Dead or Alive 4


Thanks for helping an old Troll with input

Lego Star Wars is a great game and a great "girlfriend game" too

its funny as heck, how do two wild and crazy old folks spend their Party Time on a Saturday night?

Me with XBox 360 learning how to dunk/PBEM Saves and her getting all the coins and combinations to get to next level

But, we are having fun

The game is approximately 1000% better in two-player mode. You should play it with her.
